  1. Very sorry to hear that David Burke has passed away. Playing opposite the definitive Sherlock Holmes of Jeremy Brett, Burke helped redefine Dr. Watson away from the bungling-oaf caricature the character had previously become. His successor in the role, Edward Hardwicke, continued that trajectory beautifully.

    Away from Baker Street, I also very much enjoyed Burke’s performance as the elderly butler Patten in A View from a Hill.

    R.I.P.

  7. Ah, Lestrade. Watson tells me that your new AI toy Claudi has solved the case of the missing Ethernet cable. Oh, indeed? The Duke of Timberland?

    So sorry, Lestrade, but Claudi is wrong. Timberland couldn't have done it, as is obvious to anyone who looks at the actual case with open eyes. Afraid I can't explain further at this moment, terribly busy. But why don't you pay a visit to the Duke's daughter. Ask her about her NeXTcube. Yes, Lestrade, her NeXTcube. Find someone who can explain it to you.

    And get rid of Claudi. You don't really need any additional source of blunder and incompetence at the Yard, do you Lestrade?

  8. Holmes put away his trusted Psion 3a and picked up his pipe. He was in chatty mood.

    We can expect some rather amusing chaos to arise at Scotland Yard, don't you think, Watson? Lestrade and his mates are all excited about their new toy, ClaudiSpy. "We won't have to put up with Holmes's capriousness any more! Claudi will do the thinking!" Poor chaps. They have no idea.

    Give it a year and Mrs Hudson will be busy fending off their requests to see me. Re-opening cases that got "solved" by jailing the wrong person gives no one any joy.

    Well, Sherlock, I should think that you will find some of these cases appealing?

    No, Watson, not I.

    I solve real cases. I don't clean up the mis-deeds of incompetent predecessors. It's a tedious and boring business. Life's too short. Lestrade will have to find help elsewhere. He could ask Moriarty, for all I care!

    My friend truly was in the most peculiar mood that afternoon!

  10. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

    Jour 4 : graines

    Le coin laboratoire de #SherlockHolmes dans le salon du 221b Baker Street à #londres, équipé de #microscopes, de béchers et de fioles de produits chimiques pour analyser les empreintes, les cheveux, la terre sous les chaussures, les fibres et pourquoi pas les graines accrochées aux vêtements.

    Les méthodes utilisées par le célèbre détective ont fait l'admiration d'Edmond Locard, qui a fondé à #lyon la police scientifique.

  18. Nachtrag Berlin-Ausflug. Bei Gastgerbers in einem feinen englischen #SherlockHolmes Compendium geblättert und diese wundervolle Denkerstudie des Meisterdetektivs von #SidneyPaget nach Jahrzehnten wiederentdeckt.

    Vielleicht mein Lieblingsportrait von Sherlock.

  19. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    I cannot live without brain-work. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them? Crime is commonplace, existence is commonplace, and no qualities save those which are commonplace have any function upon earth.

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1890-02), “The Sign of the Four,” ch. 1 [Holmes], Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, Vol. 45 (US) / 1 (UK)

  23. Mindlocking Trickery of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes

    Pairing a mystery, where each clue matters with a director behind Revolver, where the symbolic meaning of the film is hidden unless the viewer has pen and paper, and knowledge of gematria, and Hebrew. As such, a detective movie, of Sherlock Holmes nonetheless, is quite an invigorating blend.

  28. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    It is of the first importance not to allow your judgment to be biased by personal qualities. A client is to me a mere unit, a factor in a problem. The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning. I assure you that the most winning woman I ever knew was hanged for poisoning three little children for their insurance-money, and the most repellent man of my acquaintance is a philanthropist who has spent nearly a quarter of a million upon the London poor.

    I was blind to the obvious, Watson. I realised too late just how far and deep Moriarty has spun his fiendish network. Every minister and undersecretary in Whitehall, the CEO and CTO of every major corporation, the heads of our learned institutions, they all are part of Professor Moriarty's vast attention channelling machine. I cannot even trust Mycroft any more.

    Our intriguing visitor has provided us with the most ingenious antidote, my friend. Lady Joan (his tone changed as he said the mysterious woman's name) has found a way to let people speak outside the Professor's net. Her strange Protocol is far from elegant, but it is immune to Moriarty's spell. Lady Joan (again, his voice became warmer as he said her name) wields this clumsy weapon with natural grace and with surprising efficiency. Her followers are an awkward lot; we will join them. Ah, I hear someone at the door. Joan has arrived!
